VL-MOD-PSH-001IMPLEMENTEDSCREENING ONLY

Pressure-shell analytical calculations

Pressure habitats · LUNA pressure-shell analytical kernel · version 0.1

Purpose
Analytical membrane/shell pressure relations for preliminary habitat liner sizing studies.
Source
Classical thin-shell pressure-vessel relations; Vectoris working implementation.
Validity range
Preliminary pressure-shell screening. Not habitat design, leak-before-burst assessment, or qualification.
Uncertainty
Openings, welds, liners, and combined thermal-mechanical effects are outside this kernel.

Assumptions

  • Idealised geometry
  • Linear elastic or simple limit-state screening, as stated per case
  • Not a jointed, imperfect, or buckling-complete design model

Status legend

Implementation status and validation status are independent. IMPLEMENTED means a computational module exists in the LUNA toolchain. It does not mean VERIFIED. CalculiX export is file exchange, not FEM verification.
